new (and somewhat old) mau5

Not sure how old this is, but last week Mau5Trap Recordings (Deadmau5' record label) released the below video on their YouTube page.  From the comments ppl say its a mashup of a few unfinished versions of "Sleeping Beauty Pills" on his Soundcloud page (username fuckmylife, lol).  Either way the track shows Deadmau5 gettin all deep and poetic with his computer voice / personal voice spoken lyrics over a slow piano melody.  The video is equally trippy and fits the song well.  It starts off a bit like his releases as of late which I haven't been a huge fan of (see "Where Are My Keys" - too damn repetitive!) but eventually has the classic mau5 breakdown over a slow/haunting piano and kickdrum beat.


Next, I feel obliged to post a track Deadmau5 released in March while I was travelling, called "HR 8938 Cephei
".  In my opinion this is one of the best tracks he's done in a while, mainly because I prefer this chilled/progressive sound to the electro/minimal tunes he's been filling his recent releases with.  Yes the song is named after some random star in the galaxy, no surprise coming from an artist with others titled "Cat on a Leash", "Fustercluck", "Ghosts n Stuff", "Some Kind of Blue" and "Sometimes Things Get, Whatever"... haha.  After releasing it, he commented on his Facebook page:
"So i googled "HR 8938 Cephei" and it took me four pages of results to finally find info on the distant star... :( sorry astronomers." 
Think his fans may be slightly obsessed?! lol. Preview, dwld & njoi:
